Polk and Webster.

In conversation q few days since with an
old resident Of Washington, who was pro-
prietor Of large custom and ready made
clothing establishment on Pennsylvania
avenue when James h. Polk was president,
be said Of all the great men Of that time
whom he knew or had business transactions
with, Polk was the most picayunish, and
Webster the largest hearted. One day Web
ster came in TO select cloth for dress suit.
Almost always beggars. mostly women beg
gars, watched him as he went in and out Of
his favorite resorts on the avenue, and ap-
preaching him with pitif1l tales never failed
70 get money il he had it.
This time he had hardly got inside the door
when in came a poor old woman, and with
tears trickling down her wrinkled cheeks sup
plicated for aims Webster was more out of
humor than was his won't to be, and cram.
ming his big hand down into his small panta-
looms pocket brought out piece of money
and said: Here, take this and be or, or I'll
have you arrested. It's all have for you. -
After selecting the cloth for his suit he put
his hand in his pocket to make the accus-
toned advance payment Turning the
pocket inside out and looking at it he said
If didn't give that woman $40 gold piece
Well, it's all the same. tn do her more
good than could have got out Of i'll Charge
the whole amount" He rarely asked the
price OF anything, and never intimated that
it was exorbitant, as Polk always did. OF
course, knowing his weakness in this direc.
ton, many tradeSpeOple imposed upon him.

"Gath" interviews One OF the Mormon
Leaders Family.
John Willard Young is the youngest son
Of the first wife OF Brigham Young, and
he is the vice president OF an intelligence
office Of q peculiar nature, which combines
banking and topography, statistics and
general information Having known Mr..
Young somewhat years ago, took the OPP
portunity Of rediscovering him to ask some
leading questions about the issues in Utah.
He is, think, about 43 years old, and he
has, il m correctly informed, ten sons and
ten daughters He was born at Nauvoo
near the time Joseph Smith was murdered In
the Carthage jail Few men are more pre-
sentable aud fascinating There is an under
tone Of religious affection in his nature quite
removed from can't or Phariseeism-,
'Where did your mother come from in the
first placer / asked. et- "~4
From Rhode Island, at no great distance
from Providence. My father was native Of
Vermont. My mother went out to Kirkland.
o., in pursuit Of information about this new
religion which Joseph Smith had introduced.
There she became member Of the church,
and in course of time married my father,
being his first wife"
Are you aware, Mr.. Young, that President
Garfield lived close by Kirkland and was &C
quainted with Joseph Smith,
"Yes; Garfield talked to me frequently on
that subject. BE told me that there was not
the least doubt that Joseph Smith had the
power 10 perform miracles, and related that
ne cast devil out Of a man. Garfield ex-
planned 1t on the ground that Smith was a
man OF great magnetism. Some Of the neigh
bors claim that Garfield had serious inten-
tions Of joining the Mormon faith in his
youth. Ha was Campbellite preacher.
After he had taken so much interest in our
people and was sincerely liked by them, we
felt il hard that he should have yielded to the
intolerance Of his official circle, and have
given Us little more chance than any of the
other presidents"
What MIR. Young relates about Garfield
was true. he told me with considerable ami
nation that once in Kirkland person seemed
possessed with devil and had some kind OF
lunacy. Joseph Smith, Garfield said, was q
splendid looking man, young and hale and
strong, and he commanded this evil spirit to
leave the person. Garfield said that there
was almost visible issuing Iof the demon
from the man. He, however, put the whole
thing on the ground of a strong will-"Gath'

Was wilkes Booth crauyq

Secretary shepherd, of the Illinois State
SportSmen's association, was an intimate
friend OF John Wilkes Booth. The two men
were In New Orleans shortly before the assas-
sination of President Lincoln. Both were
patrons Of the same gymnasium in the city,
and each had a certain amount Of admiration
for the other. Shepherd was in a reminiscent
mood the other day, and, among other things,
he said that he was satisfied that Booth was
as crazy as a March hare all the time he was
in New Orleans. The assassin spent great
deal Of his time in the gymnasium There
was a high platform in the building, and
Booth seemed TO have mania for jumping off
it TO the floor below. He would repeat the
performance q score Of times every half hour,
and, firing Of the strange exercise, the assassin
would run around the room until he had
covered from ten TO dozen miles. That
Booth was then in training for his murderous
work there seems to be little doubt. One day
he rushed up TO Shepherd, and, with fever
iSh glitter in his eye, exclaimed: shepherd,
you'll hear something great about me before
many days.
Shepherd did hear the startling story of his
friends terrible deed, but nothing could con-
vince him that it was the work of sane
man.-Chicago Herald.

KIsMET.

n blame not God for one i'll l have known,
Nor for the storms that rave within my soul;
Nor vet because will not reach the goal
I see far up the height white and alone;
Nor vet because all through long nights moan,
And through long years, Ike winds around the
pole;
Nor vet because I've heard the thunder roll
All through my life, since my brthnight has
flown.
But do blame my tyrant star, which glows
Up there white, still, implacable, serene.
Just as it glowed the night death tolled her
knell.
And could reach 1t on this gale that blows
So madly by, would clutch il in between
These bcny hands and hurl it down TO he'll!

There il an old fashioned idea that a ro-
mantle youug lady always takes the flowers
sent her hy her most devoted admirer, and
puts them away with lock of his hair. In
afte life, she may drag them out of some
dark corner and make him ashamed of his
extravagance. But that is not what the
Washington girls do with their roses. They
wear them in their belts until they are
faded. Then they strip OF the leaves and
put them in some handsome urn. or jar, with
spices and perfume, or with just the perfume
and !rlycerine. Then they have rose jar. y
or potpourri Ii differs from other pot
pourrs only in that the leaves of no flowers,
except those presented by some favorite, or
favorites, are admitted Sometimes the
blossoms of viol.ts and other sweet flowers
are used with the roses. IL Is only then val
ued for its fragrance and the romantic asso-
citation.
Another way is to use the rose leaves and
glycerine only. Then the young lady keeps
away chapped lips by the Use of this delicate
salve. 1t takes mary flowers for such a jar.
but the lady would have no claim TO being Il
belle if she could no. collect enough during a
season. The size of the jar varies according
To the measure of the flowers tha fair one re
ceivcs. and there Is Il rivalry to be nble to
display the finest jar. Sometimes the vessel
in which the leaves are packed is quite beau
tiful and expensive. When ii is remembered
that in the dead of winter IA bunch of flowers
may cost anywhere from - 10 so. according;
10 their rarity, the costly character of the
contents Of the jar may be apprcciatcd.-The
